This Carnegie Library was completed in 1905 and a two-story addition was added to the back of the building in 1908.
The Carnegie Public Library functioned as Winnipeg’s central library until the completion of the Centennial Library in 1977. Following completion of the Centennial Library, this Carnegie Library was closed. However, community appeals resulted in the reopening of the building as the William Avenue Branch Library in 1978. The William Avenue Branch was closed in 1994. From 1977 to 2005, space for library services and programs was gradually reduced and reallocated to storage of the City’s archival records.
